The OCZ cooler is fine, probably will cool your ram more than the fancy heatspreaders and costs less.

Hi flearider,
Welcome to the forum
I think many might think that bare is always best
I'd be inclined to try naked with Corsair CORSAIR CMXAF1 Fans - Reta
More pics Fitted in my case. It's pretty cheap & well worth a try 1st imo.

luck

Black dragon doesn't need any heatsinks, just a small amount of airflow, so the OCZ/Corsair memory coolers will do just fine

You can't find Black Dragon in the US anymore... nobody sells it.
